Armed militia, Black Lives Matter protesters collide in Louisville marches. This is what has been

Louisville has experienced clashes between armed militia and Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters, reflecting broader demonstrations across American cities. These confrontations, often reported by news outlets like the Lexington Herald Leader, are largely fueled by calls for justice.
